Hello,
I think that the Grinder definitively is worth to consider. I have
used it a couple of times and I think that it is "better" than JMeter.
Thanks,

Hi Matt,
Well, my short evaluation of JMeter confirmed your observation: JMeter
is definately not a great performing load driving tool.
However, I tried/read about a few other open source load drivers and
unfortunately I didn't find anything that performs really well.
Since JMeter has the largest and the most active development
community that provides a good user's support, I think that we can
start using it to drive Daytrader (at least until we find something
better).

Hi Piuysh,
Writing your own driver is certainly an option but it wouldn't be my
preferred option. You are right; it takes a lot of time, efforts,
good design and implementation to build a good load driving tool.
In my opinion, it is better to just use whatever it is available out
in the open source space. Something like JMeter for example has a
large community of developers working on improving and supporting it
as w ell as a lot of users that can provide hits/feedback on its use.
In addition, the source code is available to download and can change
according to your needs. That is why I proposed to use the existing
load driver instead of developing one from scratch.
For my testing, I used just a simple JMeter scripts, mostly for my
own
educational purposes. However, I am working on creating a more
complex JMeter workload script for Daytrader.
Once completed, I will share it with you (the Geronimo development
community).
Then we can work together on changing/improving it and maybe package
it with Daytrader sample.
Sounds good?
